Methods of storing app data

[Matt]

Hi all,

I have a functional app that is currently on google play and being used.

I have had some feedback from the users of the app that when they install it, they need to allow the following permission.

“Allow {MyApp} to access photos, media and files on your device?”

The only place that I access any type of file is to read/write app data to a text file (encrypted login credentials and other information).

I want to avoid this message appearing as it can put users off.

Is there another way of storing app data that does not trigger any permissions?

** Note **

I have been playing around with the idea of storing the data in a database, but with how the app currently works, converting from instant access to the data, to a callback based method is causing headache inducing issues.

I can continue down this path if it is the only option, I just wanted to check if there is a another way.

Kind regards,

Matt

Look at app.GetPrivateFolder(name), try storing your file there.

You are an angel!

Been working on this for a few days now with dwindling hope, implemented your suggestion and it works no problem.

Thank you!
